Hicks, TRMC, City Secretary February 24, 2003 Mr. Gordon Scruggs, P.E. City Engineer City of The Colony 6800 Main Street The Colony, Texas 75056 RE: Memorial Drive Improvements Blair Oaks Drive to Paige Road (3400' +/-) Contract Amendment Dear Mr. Saldana: Nathan D. Maier Consulting Engineers, Inc. (NDMCE) is pleased to present this proposal to amend the agreement for engineering and surveying services for the Memorial Drive Improvements. UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT Memorial Drive is proposed to be a six-lane divided urban arterial with curb and gutter, raised median and an enclosed storm sewer system within a 100' right-of-way. The design of this project was essentially complete when the project scope was modified. The burrent project is proposed to design and construct the northern two lanes of the ultimate six-lane street. This includes survey and hydraulic analysis to accommodate the ultimate roadway project. The roadway design has been modified to construct the northern two lanes with gabions along the natural channel of Office Creek and a temporary earth retaining wall along the south right-of- way line (future centerline). If the City is successful in obtaining a slope easement from the adjacent property owner, the temporary earth retaining wall will be deleted and a 4:1 side slope will be used. The water line has been relocated from the north parkway to the median as instructed by the City. There are two separate projects underway to construct a channel for Office Creek along the north side of Memorial Drive from Paige Road to a point west of Blair Oaks Drive. Memorial Drive will be parallel to and adjacent to the channel. The City wishes to combine the three projects into a single construction contract. The City has instructed NDMCE to investigate the feasibility of redirecting the channel from SH 121 to a location adjacent to and parallel to Blair Oaks Drive and upsizing the culvert to handle the redirected flow. In the original project scope, there are two major creek crossings included in the Memorial Drive project. Two NorthPark / 8080 Park Lane I Suite 600 ! Dallas, Texas 75231 ! (214) 739-4741 Mr. Gordon Scruggs, P.E. February 24, 2003 Page 2 SCOPE OF WORK 1. Paving and Drainage Engineering Design NDMCE will modify the original engineering design and prepare construction plans for Memorial Drive from Blair Oaks Drive to Paige Road. The project design will be modified to delete the southern half of the roadway from the final construction plans and to include a temporary earth retaining wall along the south right-of-way line so as not to encroach on the adjacent property. If the City is successful in obtaining a slope easement from the adjacent property owner, the temporary earth retaining wall will be deleted and a 4:1 side slope will be used. The roadway cross sections will be modified to reflect the current design. The culvert design nearest to Blair Oaks Drive will be upsizedto handle the flow from the relocated SH 121 channel. 2. Project Manual NDMCE will prepare the project manual and contract documents for Memorial Drive from Blair Oaks Drive to Paige Road. The project will combine Memorial Drive and the two Office Creek projects for bid and construction purposes. The City Will provide construction plans and specifications for the Office Creek project being designed by Kimley-Horn for inclusion in the contract documents. The contract documents will utilize NCTCOG standard specifications or other standards specified by the City. 3. Geoteehnieal Investigation NDMCE will provide geoteehnieal investigation services through a subeonsultant. The geoteelmieal investigation will provide data to be used in design of the gabion retaining wall and preparation of pavement subgrade.
